EASTER ON SHIPLEY GLEN 1912

The film begins in Salts Mill, Victoria Road, with many pedestrians (some staring at the camera), trolley buses and horse-drawn carriages.  Three women walk across a field, with lots of other people going back and forth, past a couple of large marquees.  This is followed by a game where some young men play a football target game.

Then there are children on donkey rides.  Many people get onto the tramway which pulls two carriages packed with passengers through wooded terrain.  The tram travels in both directions.  More people wait on the platform.  They get onto a chair ride (the Aerial Glide), with chairs suspended above the ground and moving around suspended on cables.

Next a wooden roller coaster ride has packed wagons running along it.  This scene is followed by some men and boys on horseback who are watched by a large crowd.  A large number of people are on the street, most of whom are staring at the camera.

A  passenger boat with a steam engine comes down the River Aire and docks alongside the Boathouse at Saltaire, by a line of rowing boats.  Back to the fairground, a roundabout spins with the crowd in front looking towards the camera.

Intertitle: ‘The Wrecked Helter-skelter’  
There is footage of the debris of the wrecked helter-skelter.  Following this scene, there are people wondering in the Glen and by the riverbed.  The film closes with shots of the fairground showing a people sitting on a spinning ride.
